Complete Set 22 Vintage Riverside Drag Auto Racing Vinyl Record Lot 5500 Series

  
This is a complete set of the Riverside 5500 vinyl record series from the late 1950s and early 1960s. It includes 22 separate items. The 5500 series includes 20 albums, and then I have added two additional Riverside releases that I feel go well with the series. I have never seen the complete set for sale anywhere in the past. I collected these over many years, and they are my "doubles".

Some of them are in excellent condition, others are what I would call fair, with some tears in the cover and significantly split edges. Some have old price tags on them. The vinyl records themselves have all been played before of course.

There are a few scratches, but I have not played them all to closely document their quality. All of them are in their own individual plastic sleeve (not shown in the lead photo), and all have inner plastic or paper liners - some vintage. This series compliments the 5000 series which focuses mainly on sports car racing.

This series is predominantly about drag racing and hot rods, but there are also records on the Indy 500, Bonneville, go karts, dirt bikes, and various military records. There is also an album about bull fighting, and one on steam engines. Truly an eclectic set predominantly focusing on motorized sounds. The main photo shows the entire collection you will get, and since I could not upload a spreadsheet I took a photo of one; it lists all of the titles, their Riverside #, and any anything else specific to that item. Some of these are in stereo, while the older ones are predominantly mono.

You will see from the spreadsheet that Riverside used a slightly different numbering system if the record was in stereo. I also included a front and back photo of two of the records just as an example. If you are not familiar with these there are a few complete records online you can listen to if you search for Sounds of Sebring. What is also cool about these are the great cover photos and info on the back cover.

They are in a cushioned heavy cardboard box. I will also be listing separately a complete set of the Riverside 5000 series, which has a slightly different focus in terms of mainly sports car racing.
